Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First, solve for y in the second equation because that equation would be easier to solve than the first one for y.</u>
y = 10 - 3x.
<u>Now, plug this into the y of the first equation, and solve for x.</u>
4x + 4(10 - 3x) = 4
<u>Distribute the 4.</u>
4x + 40 - 12x = 4
<u>Combine 4x and -12x, Subtract 4 from both sides, then add -8x to both sides.</u>
-8x + 40 = 4
36 = 8x
<u>Divide both sides by 8.</u>
<u> (or 4.5) = x</u>
<u>Now, plug this in for x in the second equation to solve for y.</u>
3 × 4.5 + y = 10
13.5 + y = 10
<u>Subtract 13.5 from both sides.</u>
<u>y = -3.5</u>
<u> (or 4.5) = x</u>
<u>y = -3.5</u>
